PURPOSE To describe the vitreoretinal interface of the asymptomatic fellow eyes of patients with acute unilateral posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) based on biomicroscopic examination and spectral domain optical coherence tomography. METHODS Sixty-five eyes of 65 consecutive patients with acute unilateral PVD were examined by slit-lamp, indirect ophthalmoscopy, and spectral domain optical c...

BACKGROUND Risks of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) may be different in the presence of peripheral vascular disease (PVD). METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed outcomes of 550 patients with PVD enrolled in the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation randomized trial and registry. Compared with 1770 patients without PVD...

BACKGROUND To describe the prevalence and associations of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in a rural adult Chinese population. METHODS All eligible subjects were requested to carry out a comprehensive eye examination; PVD was a pre-specified outcome variable and was determined via biomicroscopical examination (slit-lamp biomicroscopy) with a +90-D preset lens after mydriasis. Prevalence w...

This study is to assess the correlation between PVD & ED in men with LUTS. Methods: From October 2014 to February 2015, one hundred twelve patients were ...

conclusions presence of cae in patients with cas increases its cardiovascular event rate. isolated cae is not a benign finding and mi can occur. risk factors of cae are similar to cas, but c/s is more associated with cae than cas. dm is seen in cae patients less than cas. results hypertension (htn), dyslipidemia (dlp), and male sex were matched in both groups without significant difference. cig...

OBJECTIVE The epidemiology of peripheral vascular disease has rarely been studied in non-European populations. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) among South Indians. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Chennai Urban Population Study is an epidemiological study involving 2 residential areas in Chennai in South India. Of ...

Many chronic diseases are associated with dizziness or vertigo, as is peripheral vestibular disorder (PVD). Although carotid plaque development is linked to atherosclerosis, it is unclear whether such plaques can lead to the development of PVD. We therefore conducted this study to investigate the presence of an association between carotid plaque and new PVD events.In this retrospective study, w...

Background. The role of lipoprotein disturbances in the development of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) has not been sufficiently clarified. Methods and Results. The relations among concentrations of intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), apoprotein (apo) B, apo E, and other lipoproteins were studied in 102 men with PVD and 100 healthy men who formed the control group. Patients with PVD had ...

OBJECTIVES In patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), the prevalence of haemodynamically significant peripheral vascular disease (PVD) was measured in relation to lipoproteins, general risk factors and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD). DESIGN A case control study. SETTING The outpatient lipid clinic of a university hospital (tertiary referral centre). SUBJECTS Pati...
